The Black Death, a medieval pandemic that was likely the bubonic plague, is generally associated with Europe. This is not surprising, since it killed an estimate 1/3 of the European population in the 14th century. However, the plague started in Asia-and it devastated many areas of that continent, as well. Unfortunately, the course of the pandemic in Asia is not as thoroughly documented as it is for Europe. However, the Black Death does appear in records from across Asia in the 1330s and 1340s.
Black rats may not have been to blame for numerous outbreaks of the bubonic plague across Europe, a study suggests. Scientists believe repeat epidemics of the Black Death, which arrived in Europe in the mid-14th Century, instead trace back to gerbils from Asia. The study is in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The Black Death, which originated in Asia, arrived in Europe in 1347 and caused one of the deadliest outbreaks in human history. Over the next 400 years, epidemics broke out again and again, killing millions of people.
